I took my NESC book with me for the April 2009 Power exam, but did not have a need for it. Since it is in the Specs, I would go ahead and take it with me anyway if I were you.

Either myself and the other two people that I know took it all failed too, or it hasn’t been updated...

It's about g*dd@mn time.....

D@mn dude give us a few minutes to type LOL!

Do they actually give a score, or are people just working backwards from the diagnostic report to figure out a raw score? I really don’t know, as I took the exam for the first time in April. I know someone that recently took the FE and claimed that he missed passing by three problems. He was...

Nope, add Kansas to the list. :shakehead:

You are not alone D Kephart. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was consumed by thoughts that I failed and even made myself sick. I even had nightmares about failing the test. However, as time passed, so did the memories of the exam problems. I just keep myself busy now so that I don’t think...

The more I think about the test the more I feel that I failed and it makes me sick to my stomach. I thought that I would feel relieved after taking the test, but I do not think that I will feel better until the results come in. At that point, if I failed, then I will feel so much worse. I...

This time was my first attempt, so I have nothing to compare it to. I did feel that only having to review/learn power related material was helpful in narrowing my focus down a bit for studying. It seems overwhelming to me to have to study power + electronics + computer stuff, since power is a...

Well..... I felt pretty good about the morning session. In fact, I really enjoyed my lunch break and was feeling confident. However, I knew that I was only half way done and didn't start celebrating at that point. It was a good thing too, because the afternoon session really kicked my...

Hi visu212, there is a bit of information on insulation testing in the NEC article 110.7. I am not sure about the other two; those are also the topics that I have not found in any of my reference books. I will probably see what info I can scrape up from Google this weekend.

I’ve run across a couple of problems for which I feel that I am missing a mathematical foundation. For example #131: A 3 phase capacitor rated at 240 V and 110 kVAr has been proposed for correcting the power factor of a 3 phase induction motor operating at 208 V. What will be the reactive...

KSU-ARE, thank you so much for the response! Yes, that is very helpful and makes complete sense. Thanks again!

I thought that I had a pretty good understanding of when to use sqrt 3 and when to not use it. However, I was working problem #110 in the new NCEES practice Power problems which reads: The only load on a 3 phase 4 wire system is place between Phase B and Phase C. The phase to phase voltage is...
